I kept getting an error popping up in my Contacts.app saying: “The operation could not be completed.” “No other information is available about the problem.” I figured I’d try to remove all my contacts and reimport them, so I exported an .abbu file of all of them and then delete them all. I then turned off iCloud, before reimport them, thinking if I turned it on again after doing so it’d re-sync them up to iCloud. What happened however was that it re-enabled the iCloud account straight afte…

I’ve had this a couple of times now and it’s pretty annoying. Chrome seems to get stuck on desktop 2, in full screen presentation mode.

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday, as I like to torture myself a little from time to time and see what an OS upgrade will break this time.

I successfully submitted an update for the same app a few days ago but had to reject the binary, so this was a little strange. After failing numerous times and trying a few things, I went to Organiser, right clicked my archive and selected “Show in finder”, then right-clicked the xcarch…
Here is a good little tip to save you some time uploading your public key to a remote host (tested to work on OSX Lion). ssh-copy-id copies your key up to a remote host (via ssh with your password) and even assigns the correct permission to home, ~/.ssh, and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys directories for you. For some reason it doesn’t ship with OSX, but you can just copy it from your remote linux host and it’ll work fine. First copy ssh-copy-id down from your remote host… sudo scp [email protected]…
